Policy and Procedures Committee—Clay Pope

The Elected Committee of Vendors passed a motion asking that a fee of $25 be charged to operator who fails to get their monthly set-aside in by the required date, which is the 15th of each month. The Division concurred and needs approval by the Commission. This was done to satisfy one of the recommendations from the program audit and will be effective July 1, 2012.
